Acura RDX Safety Equipment 2022 SUV Specification

The 2022 Acura RDX SUV is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to provide maximum protection and enhance driver confidence. At the core of its safety system is AcuraWatch™, a robust package that includes several advanced driver-assistance technologies. This suite features Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) which uses radar and a forward camera to detect vehicles ahead and can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the severity of a collision. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) work together to ensure the vehicle stays centered in its lane and prevent unintentional lane departure. The RDX also includes a Multi-View Rear Camera with dynamic guidelines to aid in parking and reversing maneuvers. Blind Spot Information System (BSI) and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor further enhance situational awareness by alerting drivers to vehicles in adjacent lanes or approaching from the side when reversing.

The 2022 RDX is built with Acura's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which enhances occupant protection in frontal collisions. Additional standard safety features include Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

In addition to these high-tech systems, the RDX is equipped with comprehensive airbag coverage, including front, side, and knee airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as side curtain airbags with rollover sensors for all outboard seating positions. These features collectively make the 2022 Acura RDX SUV a formidable contender in the realm of automotive safety, ensuring peace of mind for every journey.
